“WELL, how about this for a plot twist, folks! The Seattle Mariners tried to play tough guy in the first inning—Victor Yanez gets plunked, words are exchanged, benches clear, fists flying, popcorn spilled, kids crying. And wouldn’t you know it—Yanez and Cleveland pitcher Jun-seo Kim both get tossed before this one even had time to warm up. CLASSIC.”
“But if you thought that rattled the two-time defending World Champions, you’d be WRONG. In fact, it lit a fire under Cleveland. The Indians came out swinging—literally—and turned this game into a demolition derby. Johnny Thompson? He’s the guy you circle, highlight, and underline. Four hits, five RBIs, and a big fly that had Mariners fans reaching for the exits early.”
“And how about Jesus Satiago? First inning, BOOM, three-run blast, and all of a sudden it’s Cleveland 3, Seattle nothing. That punch Seattle thought they were landing? Backfired big time.”
“Final score: Cleveland 16, Seattle 7. That’s not a ballgame, that’s a crime scene. The Mariners’ pitching staff is going to need therapy after this one. Cleveland evens the series, keeps their three-peat hopes alive, and oh by the way, Game 5 shifts back to Jacobs Field. Advantage? I’ll give you a hint—it’s not Seattle.”
“Folks, if you like high drama, keep your scorecards handy. The Indians aren’t done yet.”
